Democrat,

With less than three weeks to go, Mikie’s momentum is undeniable. But we’re fighters in New Jersey and don’t take anything for granted. It’s all hands on deck. Over these next 18 days, there are opportunities to make phone calls and knock on doors every single day. There are also incredible community events with inspiring leaders making the case for Democrats up and down the ballot who will lower everyday costs, protect our healthcare, and stand up for our rights. Let’s get to work electing them.

President Obama agrees Mikie is the right choice for our next governor because of her long record of service and her commitment to making life more affordable in New Jersey. Hear what he has to say in this new video.

In this week’s Chairman’s Corner, learn more about how Mikie is fighting to ensure the Gateway Tunnel is built, the disturbing truth about how Jack made millions off the opioid epidemic, and how the GOP’s culture wars try to distract us from the fact they have no plans to move our state forward.

— Chairman LeRoy J. Jones, Jr.

When Trump Attacks the Gateway Tunnel, Mikie Fights Back. Jack Won’t.

The Gateway Tunnel is the nation’s most significant infrastructure project. On top of that, building it is a huge economic boost in our region, creating 95,000 jobs and generating $42.8 billion in economic activity. On a whim, Trump announced this week he’s terminating this project because he’s vengeful and loves playing political games.

The ‘tunnel-obsessed’ congresswoman, Mikie Sherrill, will bring that tenacity as governor, and will fight tooth and nail to get this tunnel built. A tunnel that will save New Jerseyans time and money. Meanwhile, Jack dismisses the importance of the Gateway Tunnel project and will never fight to protect it. He’s got no backbone and will do whatever Trump tells him to do.

Jack Made Millions Off the Opioid Crisis While New Jerseyans Suffered

Every time Jack runs for governor (three times and counting), he tries to claim he was once a “small business owner.” In reality, he made millions, paid by Big Pharma, to publish propaganda that downplayed the dangers of opioids.

After avoiding accountability when Mikie called him out on this, Jack’s campaign operative admitted Jack’s company made an app that coached patients on how to get Hydrocodone prescriptions.

A man who fanned the flames of this epidemic even after the devastating effects had been made public has no place being our governor. Click here to hear from New Jerseyans impacted by this crisis and their reaction to Jack making a profit off it.

Dr. Geena Buono Underscores Why We Can’t Afford Republican Leadership

“Your rent won’t go down because Republicans ban books. Your grocery bill won’t shrink because they attack LGBTQ kids.”

In a new op-ed in North Jersey, Dr. Geena Buono laid out how politicians like Jack Ciattarelli and the NJGOP push culture wars and attack the trans community to try to win elections but in reality have no plans to solve the problems facing our state. That’s why we must elect Mikie Sherril our next governor who will actually lower costs and protect our rights.
